Lizzie: Cherry? Are you awake?
Cherry: Of course I’m not, I’ve got an early start in the morning. Anyway, didn’t you hear me snoring?
Lizzie: Oh Cherry, I just had to tell you – Robin asked me out!
Cherry: As in, going out together? He’s now officially your boyfriend?
Lizzie: Well – yes!
Cherry: Oh my god, my little baby sister is dating a popstar!
Lizzie: That’s not why I want to go out with him, Cherry! Anyway, he’s not exactly a popstar anymore, is he? He’s just Robin. I like him for himself.
Cherry: Well, he’s still famous for now. So – did you snog him?
Lizzie: Why do you have to make it sound so – ! Yes we did kiss.
Cherry: Was he any good?
Cherry: Oh you can’t really answer that, you don’t have anyone to compare him with, do you!
Lizzie: He’s got no-one to compare me with either – you were right about him never having had a girlfriend.
Cherry: Aw how sweet…but quite bizarre!
Lizzie: I half wish I hadn’t told you now…
Cherry: Oh I’m sorry for teasing, Lizzie – I know how much you like him, I’m really happy he asked you out.
Lizzie: Do you like him? You never really say…
Cherry: I hardly know him, Liz! He’s a funny thing, isn’t he? He’s so quiet when he comes round here, he hardly says a
word!
Lizzie: He can’t get a word in when we all start talking! He’s not very confident – he’ll be better when he gets to know
you.
Cherry: Well, I’m sure he will – he seems very sweet, anyway, and the main thing is, YOU like him!
Lizzie: Anyway, I’ll get ready for bed now – I mustn’t keep you awake any longer.
Cherry: I’m glad you told me, Liz – oh dear, it’s about time I found myself another man, isn’t it?
Lizzie: Someone will soon come along, Cherry – you’re always getting asked out!
Cherry: Well…I did have my eye on one of the baggage handlers at the airport, but now you’ve bagged yourself a popstar,
I think I should hold out for a footballer at the very least…
